Dear Diary [DVD] [1993]

One of my favorite films
This has been one of my favorite movies for a long time. It is full of small funny moments and watching it with a group of friends its as if someone is going around the room tickling people as they begin to laugh.

It is a very Italian movie and the humor maybe too local to be generally accessible but the look at the medical system with its tendency to over prescribe pills, to the island where children are the bosses, this is a very funny look at life in Italy at a specific time and place.

Watch out for the DVD region
In the description of the product, it says that the DVD region is set to All regions. Unfortunately it is not true. The DVD I received was set to Region 2 (Europe).

My north amercian DVD player wont play it, but I found out that VLC media player is able to play it in the computer, without changing the DVD Region of your DVD-ROM.

At least I can play it now.

The quality of the video transfer is quite bad, but it is better than the old recorded VHS I had of the movie. You don't have control over the subtitles, but at least you have them.

In all, it is quite a bad DVD edition, but it is still good to watch Caro Diario.

a comedy of cancer-fighting
What is it all about? If not being a semi-biography of a later cancer-fighter, this work is just a comedy of a boyish bearded man on a motorbike hanging around Rome and Europe with no sexual commitment/interplay as nice music followed his any motion.

Well, perhaps, it will worth more as a semi-doco over a few decades oncoming.
